-----------------------------
A] integer overflow in in_mkv
-----------------------------

The in_mkv plugin uses a particular function (address 077078c0) for
reading text strings from the Matroska containers.
The operations performed are the reading of the ebml numeric value
(64bit), the allocation of memory corresponding to that value (32bit)
plus 1 and the subsequent reading of the data from the file leading to
possible code execution:

  buff = malloc(size + 1);
  if(buff) fread(buff, 1, size, fd);

-----------------------------
B] integer overflow in in_nsv
-----------------------------

The in_nsv plugin is affected by an heap-overflow caused by the
function (address 077ca422) that first verifies the size of the
metadata string contained in the file adding 1 to it and then copies
0x1fffffff bytes in a heap buffer leading to possible code execution
(077C8577 CALL DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+8]):

  memcpy(heap_buffer, attacker_data, size >> 3);

------------------------------
C] integer overflow in in_midi
------------------------------

The in_midi plugin is affected by an heap overflow during the handling
of the hmp files (a format used in some old DOS games) where a
variable-length 32bit value is used for the copying of data with
memcpy() from the attacker's data to a heap buffer which has not been
